That works. I do believe the farther away the BOV the more of a chance the compressor wheel can be stressed out or have a chance to slow down or stop. Especially when on the other side of the IC. No matter where you put the BOV its going to help and it will stop the comp wheel from barking and that's its main purpose. Cant wait to see it!

Are you taking the family or going solo Newly? If solo I might head out after work Saturday if I can crash in your hauler. I wouldn't be out there till maybe 7pm though.
As of now im leaving Sat morning and taking the family. We have room in the toy hauler if you want to crash in it, no problem, let me know.
Its also nice enough to tent it if you have a tent. More then welcome to use the shower too. Whatever you want to do im cool with.

Newly, if you end up taking your flat bed out and have room, I'll throw my car on there and roll out with you Sunday morning.
Do you need a trailer? Talk Pete into going and you guys can borrow my 30ft trailer and haul both your cars out. I have a 20ft trailer too. Since Pete told me he wasn't going to go and I figured I wasn't going to haul another car so I decided to throw my car in the toy hauler and take the family. Ill head out Saturday morning. If you guys need a trailer let me know.

I have always put them on the hot side of the IC closest to the turbo possible. I was told long ago and believe that would get the pressure off the turbo compressor wheel the fastest for protection.

Since i'm not hauling Petes car I will probably put mine in the toy hauler and leave Sat some time!

See you all this weekend!
-
Thanks for the hit. I found a set local, picking them up today!
-
We will be at Dumont at 6am

I'm out man. Car still needs a few things and I don't want to be up till midnight getting it ready. See you all next weekend!

I think that's me?? Lol
If a couple other cars want to go I'll load up and go tomorrow morning. I would feel more comfortable with 3-4 cars going instead of just two. Post up!
-
Not sure yet, I might go out tomorrow if anyone else wants to go for a few hours

Who's Wiley?

Newly you're talking about where 159 runs into blue diamond coming out of red rock right? Ill be there.
Any other quads coming? I know Adam said he might..
Yep yep

Looks like the Oct 4-5 weekend is going to be HOT 99* so i'm thinking we will meet very early again Sunday morning and leave the Blue Diamond & Charleston gas station at 4:30am like we did last time. Be done around 11-12pm load up and head back to Vegas. Thinking about a possible pool and BBQ "after party" at my casa if anyone wants to come.

Saturday sunny and 81* degrees
Sunday sunny and 80* degrees
Damn!
Looks like Oct 4-5 is going to be 99* degrees
Sh*t this weekend would be the ticket

Awesome write up and the rail looks killer with the sand tires. Nice trailer too! I'm sure ill see you out there! Come out for the Oct 5th day trip if you can make it. See ya

I wanted to share this with all DDR members. Insurance coverage on a rail or sxs is super important and there is a local company here in vegas who can insure your off road rig no hassles and good price. Pete turned me onto these guys and so far they have been great. Im even moving all my autos, trailers, home, life and business coverage over to them right now.
Just for a example I insured my 2008 RFR Sand Rail LS1 motor for $28,000 full coverage for $585 a year. It would roughly be $55 a month with payments but I opted to do the half up front and will pay the other half in 6 Mos.

Dang!

Looks like it will be a great turn out!

Glad you all made it safe. When we took the rails out a month ago for the summer time DDR run I launched off a 8ft wall and it didn't feel very good. We were there at 5am and the shadows were really playing tricks on us. Night time duning is the worst, no matter how awesome of lights you have or how many there are always shadows.
I think were going out again Oct 5th for a early morning run or two.
Paddles or no paddles
in Truck, Jeep, & Car talk

I think paddles would help a ton since its 2wd. With out them I don't think you would be able to climb any hills very good. I also don't think you would be able to dune with a group of sand rails paddles or not. I could be wrong?? Sure be fun hauling a$$ through the woops and climbing the hills and jumping though. I vote paddles! Sick truck.
Are those tires in the pic 35"? I would think a 33" Paddle would work good and look ok. Get the shorter paddles so you get some tire spin.
